Not in Your Lifetime: The Assassination of JFK

'It might not be in your lifetime,' said the Chief Justice of the United States when asked whether the files on the assassination of President Kennedy would be made public. If the President was killed by a lone gunman, as the first official enquiry claimed, why can we still not see all relevant records? Fifty years on and the murder of the century remains unsolved. Drawing on thirty years of investigation, Anthony Summers examines the case in compelling, forensic detail.

Kennedy's murder. Garrison began by exposing the contradictions in the Warren Report, which concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald was an unstable pro-Castro Marxist who acted alone in killing Kennedy.

Hit List: An In-Depth Investigation into the Mysterious Deaths of Witnesses to the JFK Assassination

For decades, government pundits have dismissed these "coincidental" deaths, even regarding them as "myths" as "urban legends." Like most people, Richard and David were initially unsure about what to make of these 'coincidences'. After all, events don't "consult the odds" prior to happening; they simply happen. Then someone comes along later and figures out what the odds of it happening were. Some of the deaths seemed purely coincidental; heart attacks, hunting accidents.

The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ

Lyndon Baines Johnson was a man of great ambition and enormous greed, both of which, in 1963, would threaten to destroy him. In the end, President Johnson would use power from his personal connections in Texas and from the underworld and from the government to escape an untimely end in politics and to seize even greater power. President Johnson, the thirty-sixth president of the United States, was the driving force behind a conspiracy to murder President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. In The Man Who Killed Kennedy, you will find out how and why he did it. Political consultant, strategist, and Libertarian Roger Stone has gathered documents and used his firsthand knowledge to construct the ultimate tome to prove that LBJ was not only involved in JFK's assassination, but was in fact the mastermind. With 2013 being the fiftieth anniversary of JFK's assassination, this is the perfect time for The Man Who Killed Kennedy to be available to readers. The research and information in this book is unprecedented, and as Roger Stone lived through it, he's the perfect person to bring it to everyone's attention.

Accessories After the Fact: The Warren Commission, the Authorities, and the Report on the JFK Assassination

A classic of JFK assassination literature, Sylvia Meagher's work is a relentless indictment of the Warren Commission and its work. Originally published in 1967, Meagher's masterful dissection of the Warren Report, based on the Warren Commission's own evidence, has stood the test of time. In some cases, declassifications of government records have corroborated the author's suspicions and analyses, such as her amazing assertion that Oswald had never actually been charged with Kennedy's murder, despite sworn testimony to the contrary.

New York Times best-selling author and legendary political insider Roger Stone lashes out with a blistering indictment that exposes the true history and monumental hypocrisy of the Bushes. In his usual "go for the jugular" style, Stone collaborates with Saint John Hunt - author, musician, and son of legendary CIA operative E. Howard Hunt - to make this a "no-holds-barred" history of the Bush family.

The Black Door explores the evolving relationship between successive British Prime Ministers and the intelligence agencies, from Asquith's Secret Service Bureau to Cameron's National Security Council.

Oswald : Assassin or Fall Guy?

German born Joachim Joesten, who worked for
Newsweek magazine before becoming a freelance writer in 1944, published
Oswald, Assassin or Fall Guy? in 1964, prior to the release of the Warren Report. Surprisingly, at that early date, the foundation of doubt that would pervade the assassination research community for the next 50 years and beyond, was already well in place. Like other early authors who questioned the official Government verdict, Joesten had to have this book published outside the United States.

Hear No Evil: Scientific Analysis of the Forensic Evidence in the Kennedy Assassination

Groundbreaking scientific analysis that breaks the JFK assassination wide open! Did a shot from the "grassy knoll" kill President Kennedy? If so, was Oswald part of a conspiracy or an innocent patsy? Why have scientific experts who examined the evidence failed to put such questions to rest? In 2001, scientist Dr. Donald Byron Thomas published a peer-reviewed article that revived the debate over the finding by the House Select Committee on Assassinations that there had indeed been a shot from the grassy knoll, caught on a police dictabelt recording.

Nelson's careful and meticulous research has led him to uncover secrets from one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in our country's history.

Brothers: The Hidden History of the Kennedy Years

For decades, books about John or Robert Kennedy have woven either a shimmering tale of Camelot gallantry or a tawdry story of runaway ambition and reckless personal behavior. But the real story of the Kennedys in the 1960s has long been submerged - until now. In Brothers: The Hidden History of the Kennedy Years, David Talbot sheds a dramatic new light on the tumultuous inner life of the Kennedy presidency and its stunning aftermath. Talbot has written a gripping political history.

Publisher's Summary

The 1964 murder of a nationally known cancer researcher sets the stage for this gripping exposé of medical professionals enmeshed in covert government operations over the course of three decades. Following a trail of police records, FBI files, cancer statistics, and medical journals, this revealing book presents evidence of a web of medical secret-keeping that began with the handling of evidence in the JFK assassination and continued apace, sweeping doctors into coverups of cancer outbreaks, contaminated polio vaccine, the arrival of the AIDS virus, and biological weapon research using infected monkeys.

Gives a real insight into 1950s America, germ warfare and the death of Kennedy. None of which I thought I was remotely interested in before coming across this audio book. Now I feel compelled enough to learn more. Loved it!

You need to focus to follow some of the threads, but Haslam himself writes clearly while showing his own 'workings out' of what ends up being an account of him trying to solve a personal puzzle which leads all the way back to historical events of huge import. I came away feeling I need to question my scepticism when it comes to conspiracy theories. Excellent performance too.

What made the experience of listening to Dr. Mary's Monkey the most enjoyable?

It's like riding a runaway freight train. You ask yourself over and over WHO'S DRIVING THIS THING AND WHERE ARE WE HEADED? The only problem is you need at the very least an active interest in the JFK assassination. You really need to know who the characters are and it's crucial that you care. It's such a bizarre take on what may have happened in Dallas that a wide open mind is essential. But the story is amazing and the read is excellent.

"Excellent Expose' of American History"

What did you love best about Dr. Mary's Monkey?

This is not a conspiracy theory book - it can't be because it is backed up by so many facts. A few suppositions are made, but when you see the steps taken to those conclusions - you have to open your eyes to possibilities you never thought could be! Agree or disagree, this book is very revealing and explains a lot of the secrets (mostly medical ones) our government has been keeping... and why. And after you are so amazed and taken back by one conspiracy... titillating facts about another one arises. I loved this book and I hated it. I wanted to scream in frustration and anger, not at the author - at this country! I heard it twice and I bought the hard copy for underlining and marking relevant passages. Be prepared to have a major paradigm shift. Everyone should read this book!

"Captivating"

Slow starting , maybe a little bit too much personal background however the information, which is laid out for the listener is understandable and well done. Not really a book about JFK however there are people, the usual suspects that intersect in a plot to kill Castro and the Kennedy assassination.

Frankly, the information about the government using cancer as a bio weapon that gets out of control, is past scary. It would explain a lot such as the cancer pandemic we are now having.

1 out of 2 men and 1 out of 3 women will get cancer now - those are scary numbers. It's a book worth listening to at least once.

"Some good points, beginning is quite compelling"

What did you love best about Dr. Mary's Monkey?

The authors frankness

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dr. Mary's Monkey?

The misplaced genius of Mary Sherman

What about Jim Meskimen’s performance did you like?

Excellent

What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?

It is very plausible that LHO was a double agent working for RFK.

Any additional comments?

as the author said, the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.The absolute misguided tragedy of the Polio vaccine and the very real consequences of doctors "playing God"It does seem possible that the CIA did finally get their weaponized cancer, as we see from the death of Jack Ruby who stated so and the upcoming death of Hugo Chavez and who knows how many more.We all are aware an know the disaster communism was, but the hysteria of the 50's and 60's seems extreme, especially when you consider that Russia was our ally during WW2 against Germany and JapanThe more I find out about the late 40's and 50's, the more it seems that our leaders had dropped into a fit of madness, we are still paying for it 60 years laterThe SV 40 virus and the possible origins of the Aids virus...all created by mad scientists, I wonder how many other insane projects we don't know about.The end of living and the beginning of survival, upside down world, life out of balance, crazy lifeYou know, sometimes its just better to be humble, say we don't know and allow nature to work things out

"If you read this as fiction, it's not so bad"

What would have made Dr. Mary's Monkey better?

I only enjoyed it for the verifiably factual side tangents on New Orleans history, so more of that, I suppose

What was most disappointing about Edward T. Haslam’s story?

It is a series of logical fallacies and self-congratulating anecdote. It reads fine if you're the kind of person amused by conspiracy theories, but it is depressing to think people might read this and take him at face value

What aspect of Jim Meskimen’s performance would you have changed?

Nothing, it was fine.

What character would you cut from Dr. Mary's Monkey?

I would cut all of the "characters" that have supposedly nonfiction dialogue despite the anecdotes happening decades in the author's past. Suffusing the investigation with hack bits of storytelling just make him sound even less convincing than he already would by virtue of his questionable logic alone.

Any additional comments?

Drinking game idea for the audiobook version: take a shot every time he uses the phrase "cancer-causing monkey viruses"

"Incredible True Story That Reads Like a Thriller"

(POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD). The author digs up legitimate (and admittedly scary) direct ties between secret government funded cancer research, the Anti-Castro movement of the 50's, the bizarre murder of a respected cancer researcher at Tulane University and the John F.Kennedy Assassination, Many of the compellingly seedy characters from the Kennedy investigation (Ferrie, Clay Shaw, Oswald, etc) play a part in these strange going-on, as do some of the most effective, respected medical professionals in their fields. Add in the secret construction of a $10 Million Dollar Linear Particle Accelerator that appears to have been the weapon used to murder cancer researcher Dr.Mary Sherman and you've got something truly unique: a soberly -researched, carefully considered and convincingly written true story that takes you on a wild ride that keeps surprising, educating and thrilling you with every new chapter. This is investigative reporting, not conspiracy theories or arguments bent to prove a preconceived premise. This is, in other words, a singularly fascinating and scholarly work of investigative journalism that will change how you think about a LOT of things. Oh, and there's monkeys too. Can't forget about the monkeys . . .

"Well Researched"

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Very logically constructed and presented, this is one of the best audio books I've listened to in several years.

What other book might you compare Dr. Mary's Monkey to and why?

It's on the same level with Mark Lane, Gaeton Fonzi and Peter Janney.

Which scene was your favorite?

I found Haslam's writing about New Orleans in the 50s and 60s to be very interesting. It left me wanting to learn more about this city and the influence it had on our nation during this time.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

This one was hard to put down. It kept me captivated on a recent long distance road trip.

Any additional comments?

I thought JIm Meskimen did a good job reading the book.
